Pretty sure he did it for the affiliate code and the dollar or two he may get if people click it and buy it ?

That mount looks nice but it seems unnecessarily complicated with the swivels and such. The Cam Pan already does these things. Would like to find a plain mount with just the ceiling screws and the tripod type screw.

While having a tripod mount on this new camera is nice, I wish the bottom was also magnetic like their other cameras. That magnetic bottom has come in handy so many times, at least for me. Now I have to buy a tripod or magnet to attach to the bottom, adding to the cost of the camera.

Hmm. I don’t have an affiliate link. Good idea though! I do see the ref= stuff in there but I can assure you it’s not an affiliate code from me. I should have looked at the URL closer cause now you have me thinking someone else snuck into my URL and I have no idea who it is!

I can’t imagine the “pan” function working well, or at all if this cam is mounted horizontal to something like a refrigerator. It seems the shaft of the motor would be put under a lot of sideways pressure since it is attached to the base of the unit. My guess is upside down or right-side up mounting is the only way to go in order to prevent an eventual bent drive shaft.

I would not expect the weight to be a problem, but you would need to re-think your concept of what is pan vs tilt. It would sort of be like rotating your PC monitor 90 degrees and trying to navigate with a mouse (I’ve done it, it’s a pain in the ass).

What’s In The Box
Inside the Wyze Cam Pan box, you will find a Wyze Cam Pan, a Quick Start Guide, a 6-foot long microUSB-USB cable, and a power adapter.
Wyze Cam Pan has a higher power requirement...

Can the Wyze Cam Pan be mounted upside down?

The Wyze Cam Pan can be mounted upside down without any operational issues. We recommend making sure it is mounted securely using the 1/4”-20 threaded screw hole in the camera’s base, so there is no risk of it falling. Once the camera is mounted upside down, there is a setting within the Wyze app where you can rotate the image. Click into the camera on the Devices tab and click the Settings gear icon in the upper right corner. Go to Advanced Settings and toggle Rotate Image 180.

The Wyze Cam Pan can be mounted sideways as well without any issues, but there is currently no rotation setting to make the image upright if it is mounted sideways.
